I have been using VA furnished hearing aids for 10 years, and I am on my third set. They replace them on a regular basis with newer and better ones. All three sets so far have been the same brand and quality that the retailers sell. My brothers and several friends (not veterans), get their hearing aids from Costco and are happy with their quality and price. I am glad I don't have to pay for mine, and the VA makes sure I have up to date quality aids.
Mine didn't come with the "wife" setting. ----Maybe the next set will.
